"Madame, don't worry, the small one has been arranged in the yard, and outsiders will definitely not be able to enter!" After Erkun finished speaking, he retreated.

Qin Nianbai was also tired, so he took a nap by leaning on the soft collapse.

……

In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, a little maid secretly went out through the side door.

She walked along the back wall to the street, and from time to time she looked to see if anyone was following her, and after making sure that no one was there, she entered a small inn.

Knocking on a room, the door was opened by a fairly handsome young man.

As soon as he saw her, the man complained, "Why did you come, do you know, I've been waiting for you here for three days!" ”

Her eyes were red and she began to shed tears, her wife was about to give birth, and the house was very strict, so she couldn't help it, so she cried and said, "Cousin, you said in the letter that your grandmother's illness is not yet well, so what should we do?" ”

The man hugged her and sighed helplessly, "Alas, Cui'er, the girl of the Mihu family has been set at home, although I only like you in my heart, but my grandmother's wish cannot be violated!" ”

The girl named Cui'er was in tears again, and grabbed the man tightly, "Cousin, you wait for me, I can't live without you, I'll go and beg Madame!" After saying that, he ran out crying.

After the man saw that Cui'er was gone, a cunning intent rose in his eyes, as if the conspiracy had succeeded, and he walked out of the inn with a satisfied smile and walked towards another room.

A woman wearing a hat in the house handed him a bag of silver tickets and said, "This is two thousand taels of silver tickets, you have done a good job, if the matter is done, there will be a heavy reward behind!" ”

The man took the money, looked at it, his eyes lit up, and nodded happily.

After the woman went out, he shook his head helplessly, if it weren't for the embarrassment of the family, he didn't want to deceive his cousin!

And with all this money, what kind of woman don't you want! Even if it's the daughter of an outsider, you can get it yourself!

Here, Cui'er anxiously returned to the Hou Mansion and came to the gate of Qin Nianbai's courtyard, but was stopped by the guards.

Seeing Xiaoqing come out, she hurriedly ran up to salute.

"Sister Xiaoqing, I have something urgent to see Madame, they won't let me in, please let me see Madame!"

Xiaoqing's face was displeased, this Cui'er, for three days, came to find Mrs. every day, Mrs. was about to give birth, even if the queen summoned her, she couldn't go, for fear that she had bad intentions, so she only ordered people not to let her see Mrs.

"Madame is already asleep, don't disturb her, do you have anything bigger than Madame?" Xiao Qing clasped his hands and snorted coldly.

Cui'er was speechless for a while, if she told her own affairs, she would definitely be ridiculed by Xiaoqing and the other maids.

She knelt down with tears in her eyes, and said extremely aggrievedly: "Sister Xiaoqing, please let me meet Madame, if you can help me, I will repay you for being a horse and a horse in the future!" ”

Xiao Qing turned around impatiently, and his tone was stiff, "What do you have to do, you say it, if you don't say it, how can I help you ask Madame!" ”

"I'm ......" Cui'er lowered her head and bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Qing saw that she was hesitant, and concluded that she must have a ghost in her heart, and she must have bad intentions, pointed at her, and said coldly: "Look, if you don't say anything about you, then aren't you here to entertain your wife, or who has bought you again, what kind of ghost is going to come!" ”

Cui'er hurriedly shook her head and wanted to explain, but Xiaoqing didn't listen to her, and asked her to be kicked out, and she was not allowed to approach Madame's yard again.

Two days after this incident, Cui'er cried again and begged to see Qin Nianbai, but was still stopped at the door.

At this time, Xiaoqing and Bao's mother were helping Qin Nianbai to walk around the yard, exercising, and giving birth in a few days.

Qin Nianbai heard the noise outside, stopped and asked, "Who is making noise at the door, Mother Bao, you go and see what's going on." ”

Bao's mother replied yes, and just as she was about to let go of Qin Nianbai, Xiaoqing preemptively said: "I'll go, maybe some girls come over for a few pennies and a few months to beg you to uphold justice!" ”

She could hear that this was Cui'er's voice, this dead girl, who was a demon again!

Qin Nianbai said calmly: "Tell Sister Xu, just give them a few pennies, it's almost the end of the year, it will be regarded as a reward for the girls, and if they have a knot in their hearts for this matter, they will not serve well in the future!" ”

Xiao Qing snorted, blessed his body, and passed.

Bao's mother asked a maid next to her to come over and help Qin Nianbai and continue to walk around.

Here, Xiaoqing came out and pulled Cui'er to the side of the small bamboo forest in the garden, and her tone was not good, "What are you going to do?" Beware of me telling you to be locked up! ”

Cui'er touched her tears, if she doesn't go out again, her cousin will get married.

She trembled and gritted her teeth, a little embarrassed, "Yes, yes, it's my cousin, he's going to get married...... I ......"

"If you keep going, I'll be gone!" Xiaoqing was impatient.

Cui'er was so anxious that she cried and grabbed Xiaoqing's hand.

"I said, I said, a year ago, I made a private agreement with my distant cousin for life, and now he has something at home to settle in advance, but I will only expire after the year, so I want to ask my wife to allow me to leave the house early!"

Xiaoqing shook her off with a look of disdain, "Look at how good you are, can you still be more noble than Mrs. in your life, what you can serve in the house is Mrs.'s great grace, even if I am a monk and a sister-in-law, I am willing not to marry for the rest of my life, you are good, this shameless thing, I want to bother Mrs." ”

Cui'er was scolded at a loss, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she only knelt down and grabbed Xiaoqing and cried.

What is this important period now, Xiaoqing looks down on this kind of person who doesn't care about the life or death of his master for his own personal affairs.

"You don't have to beg me, I don't have the right to let you out, in short, madam, you can't bother, who knows whose intention you are going out this time?" After Xiao Qing finished speaking coldly, he shook his hand and went directly into the courtyard.

Leaving Cui'er to kneel on the ground, crying sadly, she wanted to escape, but this escape became a fugitive slave, and if she was caught, she would be killed!

Besides, the Yonghou Mansion is powerful and powerful, where can she flee to?

At this end, although Xiao Qing scolded and scolded on his lips, he took it to heart, and he still wanted to find an opportunity to tell Qin Nianbai, it is useless to keep this kind of person, just send it away if you can!

Seeing that Qin Nianbai had already woken up from a nap, he came over with a smile and poured a tonic sweet soup for Qin Nianbai.

"Madame, there is something I want to tell you about ......"

Before she finished speaking, Erkun ran over with a happy smile.

"Madam, there is a message from the Hou Ye that he has safely sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Lin to Shanxi, and he will leave for Beijing in a few days, and he will definitely be able to rush before Mrs. gives birth."

Qin Nianbai smiled knowingly, he originally thought that it didn't matter if he could rush back or not, but now when he heard his news, he was so happy.

After Erkun went down, Qin Nianbai remembered Fang Cai Xiaoqing's words again, but Xiaoqing shook his head at this time and said that it was nothing.

In the past few days, Mrs. has always been sad, and finally a little happy, he doesn't want to worry Mrs. because of Cui'er's bad things.

Xiao Qing thought, after all, there is no precedent for letting the minions leave in advance, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the other minions in the house, and it is not too late for Cui'er to wait for more than ten days before letting her out!

At the same time, she was afraid that Cui'er would make trouble, so she smiled at Qin Nianbai and said, "Mother Fang in the kitchen pickled a jar of hometown dishes, I heard that pregnant women love to eat them the most, so go and get some for you!" ”

Qin Nianbai was puzzled, she had already passed the morning sickness period, and she didn't like to eat anything sour now, Xiaoqing, what was going on? Is there something to hide from her?

When she tried to ask her, she had already run out.

Xiaoqing ran in a hurry and bumped into Bao's mother who came in with a cloth at the door.

"Why did the little Qing girl become frizzy today?" She muttered, put the material in front of Qin Nianbai, and said, "These fabrics are worn by the little master when he is seven or eight years old, according to your requirements, the colors of the old woman and the girl have been found." ”

"I'll take a look, well, it's good-looking, his clothes when he grows up, I'm doing it now, put it in the warehouse!" Qin Nianbai touched the material and nodded with satisfaction.

Thinking of Xiaoqing's strangeness, she asked Bao's mother to ask her again.

Later, when Bao's mother was empty, she wanted to ask Xiaoqing, but there was no one in her room.

Bao's mother grabbed a little girl on the road and asked where Xiaoqing went, but the girl shook her head, but the girl's eyes were evasive, and Bao's mother gave her a slap before she spoke honestly.

Coincidentally, just as the girl was about to speak, Xiaoqing came from behind.

"Mother Bao, what are you doing when you don't wait for Madame to come to me?" Xiaoqing asked with a smile.

Bao's mother came over and took her hand, gently pushed her head with her fingers, and smiled, "What can I do?" Madame said that you are strange, let me take a look, I see that you are as clever as usual, hurry back and call Madame, so that she can rest assured! ”

Xiaoqing nodded, and pulled Bao's mother back to Qinghuanju together, she did let Cui'er be locked up in the firewood room just now, and when Mrs. gave birth to the child safely, he asked him to let him out, and when the time came, Mrs. was going to be beaten and punished, and she also admitted it.

But when she walked to Mrs. Niang's door, she hesitated, pulled Mother Bao aside, and whispered, "Mrs. is so smart and wise, I can't hide this from her, but if she knows, she will only worry about it more, that is, the girl Cui'er who does sprinkling and sweeping in the outer yard, she was sent out of the house at the end of the year, and she is going to be clamoring to leave in the past few days!" ”

Bao's mother nodded, and said worriedly: "Our Yonghou Mansion is not an impersonal place, it is not difficult to let her out, what I am worried about is that I am afraid of ulterior motives, the pioneer lady of the Lin Mansion had an accident on that important day......"

She asked, "Can she explain why she is moving forward by half a year?" ”

"It's not for her lifelong event, that the cousin who said that she was in love with her was going to marry another girl, so she ran outside the yard to kneel in three days!" Xiaoqing hugged his hands and said angrily.

Bao's mother frowned, there are indeed some coincidences, it's hard to say, in case that girl holds a grudge for this, staying in the house is also a wild wolf's heart!

"No, you and I will go to see Madame together, what do you say about this?" She pulled Xiaoqing into the courtyard.

Xiaoqing dragged her back, "Mom, you're so confused, you just said it, I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives has provoked her!" ”
